2002 Volkswagen Passat Wagon GLS V6 4dr Wagon (2.8L 6cyl 5M)

Review

We traded a '99 Accord in for the
Passat, and we have loved every minute
of it. As a previous BMW & Honda
owner, this is definitely a German
built auto. The highway ride is
comparable to high dollar luxury
sedans. You will cruise at 95 mph, and
have virtually no sensation of speed or
wind noise. The interior is
considerably quieter than our previous
Accord. We opted for the 5 spd GLS
with everything except leather, and it
reminds me very much of the 535i I
previously owned.

Review

I think VW earned attention primarily
because of fancy looks. The
poerformance and build quality are
mediocre compared to other vehicles.
The interior and exterior scratches
easily because of cheap materials
used. The car is slow and consumes
excessive amounts of premium fuel. It
slows down very quickly like a farm
tractor as soon as you release the
acceleration.

Review

The Passat wagon blew us away on the
test drive. We couldn't believe that
all of this car was avaialable for the
price. We have logged over 5000 miles
on it already and it has been great.
The only annoying thing is a rattle
from the dash. Overall, we are very
pleased, the turbo engine is quite
peppy, and the cargo area is a great
size..

Review

We were looking for a mid size wagon-
not too many options in our american
market. We both loved the way it drove
and looked. The manual is short,
precise, and has short throws. The
steering is very accurate and gives
good feedback. Disc brakes are very
good, handling and acceleration too. We
opted for the turbo. It provides good
gas mileage, better than adequate
acceleration and one of the best 4 cyl.
Size was perfect for us. Seating is
comfortable for 5 - not as big as the
new camry/altima/accord. Luggage room
is amazing on the wagon. After 11,000
miles we are extremely happy that we
purchase this car and keep getting
compliments from people.

2002 Volkswagen Passat Wagon GLX 4dr Wagon (2.8L 6cyl 5M)

Review

We bought this car in March and we love
it. We have had no problems at all with
it. It does tend to burn a lot of fuel
for the power you get, but that is the
only complaint I can come up with.

Review

My Passat was delivered with a defective radio and an indifferent attitude.
The dealer in Libertyville, IL was unconcerned about my problems. Besides,
the car has lousy gas mileage (burns 92 octane for a V6?) and a mushy ride
for a VW. Otherwise, the hard seats and spare interior add up to an
uninspired choice for a compact/mid-size car. These cars are nothing
special.

Review

I have now had my Passat Wagon for 7
weeks and 2600 miles. At first I was a
little leery of getting the 1.8,
wondering if it would have enough
power. After having had the car for
2600 miles, I would recommend the 1.8
highly!! The car is a blast to drive,
the Monsoon sound system is excellent,
and the comfort for me (6'2", 215lbs)
is just great.
